''Twelve Year a Whore, fives times a Wife (whereof once to her own Brother), Twelve Year a Thief, Eight Year a Transported Felon in Virginia, at last grew Rich, liv''d Honest, and died a Penitent''So the title page of this extraordinary novel describes the career of the woman known as Moll Flanders, whose real name we never discover. And so, in a tour-de-force of writing by the businessman, political satirist, and spy Daniel Defoe, Moll tells her own story, a vivid and racy tale of a woman''s experience in the seamy side of life in late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century England and America. Born in Newgate prison, and seduced in the home of her adoptive family, she learns to live off her wits, defying the traditional depiction of women as helpless victims. First published in 1722, and one of the earliest novels in the English language, its account of opportunism, endurance, and survival speaks as strongly to us today as it did to its original readers.

Audiokniha: Slavný román Daniela Defoa býval často považován za knihu pro děti příliš těžkou a nesrozumitelnou. Od jeho vzniku byly napsány mnohé verze pro mládež, v nichž se původní obsah do jisté míry stírá. Převyprávění spisovatele Františka Novotného se tak stalo doslova novodobou klasikou. Přibližuje čtenářům ničím nepřikrášlenou postavu Robinsona – Robina, inspirovanou původním hrdinou s jeho dobrými i špatnými vlastnostmi. Daniel Defoe (1660 - 1731) Daniel Defoe se narodil roku 1660 v Anglii, v době plné náboženských a společenských rozporů, a zemřel roku 1731. Pocházel z rodiny londýnského svíčkaře a řezníka. Daniel Foe (přídomek „de“ si k příjmení dal až později) chodil do presbyteriánské školy, kde se mu dostalo nejvyššího akademického vzdělání. V době ostrých náboženských sporů po smrti krále Viléma III. se také octl ve vězení pro veřejné pobuřování. Po návratu z vězení založil noviny nazvané Přehled, které po deset let řídil a většinou i sám psal. Napsal řadu děl, z nichž nejznámější je kniha Robinson Crusoe, námořník z Yorku, jeho život a neobyčejná dobrodružství. Mezi další díla patří Kapitán Singleton; Moll Flandersová; Plukovník Jack; Roxana. Psal i řadu geografických příruček a spisů o zámořských plavbách. Když začal psát Robinsona, bylo Defoeovi 60 let.

Britain in the early eighteenth century: an introduction that is both informative and imaginative, reliable and entertaining. To the tradition of travel writing Daniel Defoe brings a lifetime''s experience as a businessman, soldier, economic journalist and spy, and his Tour (1724-6) is an invaluable source of social and economic history. But this book is far more than a beautifully written guide to Britain just before the industrial revolution, for Defoe possessed a wild, inventive streak that endows his work with astonishing energy and tension, and the Tour is his deeply imaginative response to a brave new economic world. By employing his skills as a chronicler, a polemicist and a creative writer keenly sensitive to the depredations of time, Defoe more than achieves his aim of rendering ''the present state'' of Britain.

Audiokniha: Deník morového roku představuje fiktivní zápisky účastníka děsivé morové epidemie, která v roce 1665 vyhladila na sto tisíc obyvatel Londýna. Děsivou morovou epidemii, která v roce 1665 zahubila v Londýně na sto tisíc obyvatel, přečkal tehdy pětiletý Daniel Defoe v bezpečí na venkově. Ve městě však zůstal jeho strýc. A snad právě jeho pohledem, očima prostého moudrého člověka, který stejnou měrou cítí obavy o svůj osud i o účast nad utrpením svých bližních, nechává nás autor nahlédnout do ulic a domů v tom čase. Jsme svědky vzrůstající paniky, která na Londýn dolehne a žene lidi z města ven či do náruče mastičkářům a šarlatánům, tragické výjevy se střídají s historkami, jimž nechybí nádech grotesknosti. Bezhlavé zoufalství jedněch je vyvažováno obdivuhodnou kázní a rozvahou druhých.A tak přestože má kniha všechny rysy reportáže a její dokumentární hodnota je veliká (obsahuje řadu dobových statistik), nevytvořil v ní autor pouze nadmíru zdařilou literární fikci, ale skutečné realistické dílo o lidské odvaze čelit neznámému děsivému nepříteli. Daniel Defoe se tak stal předchůdcem žánru literatury faktu. Spisovatel Walter Scott poznamenal zhruba sto let po vydání Deníku, že kniha patří "k těm zvláštním dílům, která kolísají mezi faktografií a smyšlenkou".

'A raging wave, mountain-like, came rowling a-stern of us...we were all swallowed up in a moment.The sole survivor of a shipwreck, Robinson Crusoe is washed up on a desert island. In his journal he chronicles his daily battle to stay alive, as he conquers isolation, fashions shelter and clothes, first encounters another human being and fights off cannibals and mutineers. With Robinson Crusoe, Defoe wrote what is regarded as the first English novel, and created one of the most popular and enduring myths in literature. Written in an age of exploration and enterprise, it has been variously interpreted as an embodiment of British imperialist values, as a portrayal of 'natural man' or as a moral fable. But above all it is a brilliant narrative, depicting Crusoe's transformation from terrified survivor to self-sufficient master of his island.This edition contains a full chronology of Defoe's life and times, explanatory notes, glossary and a critical introduction discussing Robinson Crusoe as a pioneering work of modern psychological realism.

Choosing survival, she makes her way as a kept woman and courtesan. The Fortunate Mistress (1724), also known under the title Roxana, tells the story of how she climbs society''s ladder by dint of her own enterprise, shedding and gaining multiple identities as she moves through the worlds of business and finance, and across the trade capitals of Europe. Amassing a fortune, her taste for men and luxuries veers increasingly to the aristocratic and exotic, culminating when she dances before the King at a masquerade dressed in the garb of a Turkish Sultana--at which point she is granted the name by which she is known to history, Roxana.

Audiokniha: Zdaleka nejúspěšnějším dílem Daniela Defoe je Robinson Crusoe, vydaný poprvé v roce 1719 pod titulem Robinson Crusoe, námořník z Yorku, jeho život a neobyčejná dobrodružství. Předpokládá se, že předobrazem Robinsona byl skotský námořník Alexandr Selkirk, který skutečně strávil více než čtyři roky jako trosečník na ostrově vzdáleném necelých 700 km od chilského pobřeží (dnes se jmenuje Ostrov Robinsona Crusoea) a když se v roce 1711 vrátil do Británie, stal se tehdejší celebritou a jeho příběh byl vícekrát literárně zpracován. Česky vyšel román Robinson Crusoe poprvé v roce 1797, od té doby více než stokrát. Nejúspěšnější bylo a dosud je převyprávění pro děti z pera Josefa Věromíra Plevy (poprvé bylo vydáno v roce 1956). Z této verze vyšla také rozhlasová úprava z roku 2009, do které se nyní můžete zaposlouchat.

Audiokniha: Napněte plachty a vzhůru za dobrodružstvím! Příběh anglického dobrodruha, který byl v mládí prodán do otroctví, dostal se na loď, prošel pěšky Afrikou, stal se pirátem a do Anglie se vrátil jako bohatý muž. Vyprávění, kterému nechybí atmosféra, švih a nápad. Robert Singleton se nikdy nedozvěděl, kdo byli jeho rodiče, protože byl jako dvouletý chlapec unesen a pak prodáván z ruky do ruky. Sám to líčí s půvabným nadhledem: „Mou hodnou cikánskou matku později pověsili, zřejmě pro nějaké lotroviny… Myslím, že jsem byl často předáván z obce do obce, snad proto, že se jednotlivé farnosti přely o pozůstalost mé údajné matky. Nevím, zda mě posílali postrkem či jinak, ale město, kde jsem dlel naposledy, muselo být blízko pobřeží.“ To se stalo pro život Singletona osudným. Se svým novým pěstounem se plavil po moři, po ztroskotání prošel africkou divočinou – kterou Defoe popsal dokonale, aniž by tam kdy byl –, znovu se dostal na moře a stal se z něj postrach lodí, které na své plavbě potkával. A pirátský život byl tak výnosný, že na sklonku života bylo Singletonovi dopřáno v klidu si užívat „našetřené“ renty doma v Anglii.

Proud towers, pituresque market squares with magnificent town halls, canals and bridges: Flanders owes everything to the sea and trade. With its cities like Bruges, Antwerp, and Ghent, Flanders has been one of the most important centers of Western art and culture since the middle Ages. The traces of flemish masters such as Rubens or Van Eyck are much a part of Flanders as the desire for pleasure and good food. It is no wonder then that the creative Flemings also draw comics, brew 100 different beers, invent chocolates, cook masterfully, and of course make the best French fries.

The idea that ''home'' is a special place, a separate place, a place where we can be our true selves, is so obvious to us today that we barely pause to think about it. But, as Judith Flanders shows in this revealing book, ''home'' is a relatively new concept. When in 1900 Dorothy assured the citizens of Oz that ''There is no place like home'', she was expressing a view that was a culmination of 300 years of economic, physical and emotional change. In The Making of Home, Flanders traces the evolution of the house across northern Europe and America from the sixteenth to the early twentieth century, and paints a striking picture of how the homes we know today differ from homes through history. The transformation of houses into homes, she argues, was not a private matter, but an essential ingredient in the rise of capitalism and the birth of the Industrial Revolution. Without ''home'', the modern world as we know it would not exist, and as Flanders charts the development of ordinary household objects - from cutlery, chairs and curtains, to fitted kitchens, plumbing and windows - she also peels back the myths that surround some of our ...

The bestselling social history of Victorian domestic life, told through the letters, diaries, journals and novels of 19th-century men and women.The Victorian age is both recent and unimaginably distant. In the most prosperous and technologically advanced nation in the world, people carried slops up and down stairs; buried meat in fresh earth to prevent mould forming; wrung sheets out in boiling water with their bare hands. This drudgery was routinely performed by the parents of people still living, but the knowledge of it has passed as if it had never been. Running water, stoves, flush lavatories – even lavatory paper – arrived slowly throughout the century, and most were luxuries available only to the prosperous.Judith Flanders, author of the widely acclaimed ‘A Circle of Sisters’, has written an incisive and irresistible portrait of Victorian domestic life. The book itself is laid out like a house, following the story of daily life from room to room: from childbirth in the master bedroom, through the scullery, kitchen and dining room – cleaning, dining, entertaining – on upwards, ending in the sickroom and death.Through a collage of diaries, letters, advice books, magazines and paintings, Flanders shows how social history is built up out ...

A captivating exploration of identity, language, and memory, weaving together whimsical and profound vignettes that challenge our understanding of home and self in a multicultural world. In Crossings, Sylvia Molloy embarks on an evocative exploration of the intricate and profound experience of living between languages, cultures, and geographies. A pioneering Argentine writer, fluent in Spanish, English, and French, Molloy inhabited all three languages, shuttling back, forth, and between, aware that each place and each language bring forth a different self. The short entries that make up “Varied Imagination” and “Living Between Languages”—the two collections gathered in this volume for the first time—revolve around an interrelated set of questions. What makes “home”? Does language make or destabilize a sense of home? How does speaking a language or switching between languages perform one’s place in the world? These vignettes capture the realization that the most seemingly natural things in life—such as home, language, and identity—depend entirely on performance. Each act, each word communicates something, means something, does something to their specific audience; another audience might react quite differently. Molloy wrote, rewrote, edited, and reworked to find the right mix to express the estar entre or “between” that was her life. In this ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Hudební CD - Zdálo by se, že po prestižním ocenění Gramophone Award 2011 „Recording of the Year” za jejich Dvořáka už pro mladý Pavel Haas Quartet není vyšších met. Zdálo by se, že po prestižním ocenění Gramophone Award 2011 „Recording of the Year” za jejich Dvořáka už pro mladý Pavel Haas Quartet není vyšších met. Bohu díky, kvartetu záleží více na hudbě než na vavřínech. Dvě vrcholná Schubertova díla představují jejich srdcové eso; po právu je označují za dva z nejvzácnějších skvostů komorní hudby. Kvartet d moll má v sobě zakódovánu jakousi temnou šifru. Název „Smrt a dívka” reflektuje citaci stejnojmenné Schubertovy písně ve druhé větě. Téma smrti je podtrženo i dalšími citacemi a volbou samotné tóniny d moll, jež se podle dobové charakteristiky tónin vyznačuje „těžkomyslnou ženskostí, splínem a předtuchami”. Smyčcový kvintet C dur s neobvyklým zdvojením violoncella Schubert dokončil pouhé dva měsíce před svou smrtí. Jeho instrumentace vyvolává místy až...

Kniha - česky Slovanské rapsodie op. 45 napsal Dvořák v průběhu roku 1878 a hned v následujícím roce byly vydány v Simrockově berlínském nakladatelství.

'No matter how bad things are, Molloy tells those afflicted by neglect, there is always hope. And with hope, there is the possibility to heal and to build a new and better kind of life' Lancashire Evening Post Following on from her previous bestselling books, Hackney Child and Tainted Love, written under the name Hope Daniels, which told the stories of kids in children's homes who fought against the odds in their struggle to survive, Jenny Molloy's book Neglected gives harrowing accounts of what happens when children fall in love with the wrong people, and how the role of social workers in their lives can bring them back to an understanding of what love really means. Readers will be introduced to several brave and inspirational children: Jemma, taken into care after her father tried to kill her; Angelika, abandoned by her mother, ending up in a criminal gang; Emma, whose life spiralled out of control after her mother's sudden death. Neglected explores these stories and more, ultimately aiming to answer the question: how can the circle of neglect be broken?Praise for Hope Daniels' other books'Raw and absorbing' Grazia​'Refreshingly honest ...

Claude Simon (1913-2005), nositel Nobelovy ceny za literaturu, je řazen do osobitého, i když značně rozrůzněného hnutí tzv. "nového románu". V naší literatuře (původní i překladové) Simonovo dílo v podstatě nemá obdoby. Český čtenář se s ním doposud mohl seznámit díky dvěma publikovaným překladům - Vítr (1980) a Příběh (1985). Tato kniha předkládá česky doposud nevydaný román Flanderská cesta, neboť právě ten představuje jedno z klíčových děl Simonovy tvorby.

Could you go a whole year without shopping? In her late twenties, that''s exactly what Cait Flanders did. Despite having cleared nearly $30,000 of consumer debt, she still struggled to save money. When she realized that nothing she was doing or buying was making her happy, she embarked on a year-long shopping ban. The Year of Less documents the 12 months during which Cait spent money only on the essentials - food, bills, car fuel - and steadily cleared out 70 per cent of her belongings. She learned to make do and mend, imposed a television ban and researched the zero waste movement. The results were profoundly transformative: the less she consumed, the more fulfilled she felt. In the process of decluttering her apartment, she also decluttered her life and overcame long-held toxic habits. With advice and practical tips from Cait, The Year of Less will leave you questioning what you''re holding on to in your own life - and quite possibly lead you to find your own path of less. ''For your friend who has already Kondo''d her cupboards after reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying, The Year of Less will inspire them to do the same to their ...

''Marvellous . . . I read it with astonished delight . . . It is equally scholarly and entertaining.'' - Jan Morris ''Quirky and compelling.'' - The Times Once we''ve learned it as children, few of us think much of the alphabet and its familiar sing-song order. And yet the order of the alphabet, that simple knowledge that we take for granted, plays a major role in our adult lives. From the school register to the telephone book, from dictionaries and encyclopaedias to library shelves, our lives are ordered from A to Z. Long before Google searches, this magical system of organization gave us the ability to sift through centuries of thought, knowledge and literature, allowing us to sort, to file, and to find the information we have, and to locate the information we need. In A Place for Everything, acclaimed historian Judith Flanders draws our attention to both the neglected ubiquity of the alphabet and the long, complex history of its rise to prominence. For, while the order of the alphabet itself became fixed very soon after letters were first invented, their ability to sort and store and organize proved far less obvious. To many of our forebears, the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Christmas has been all things to all people: a religious festival, a family celebration, a time of eating and drinking. Yet the origins of the customs which characterize the festive season are wreathed in myth.When did turkeys become the plat du jour? Is the commercialization of Christmas a recent phenomenon, or has the emphasis always been on spending? Just who is, or was, Santa Claus? And for how long have we been exchanging presents of underwear and socks?Food, drink and nostalgia for Christmases past seem to be almost as old as the holiday itself, far more central to the story of Christmas than religious worship. Thirty years after the first recorded Christmas, in the fourth century, the Archbishop of Constantinople was already warning that too many people were spending the day not in worship, but dancing and eating to excess. By 1616, the playwright Ben Jonson was nostalgically recalling the Christmases of yesteryear, confident that they had been better then. In Christmas: A History, acclaimed social historian and bestselling author Judith Flanders casts a sharp and revealing eye on the myths, legends and history of the season, from the origins of the holiday in the Roman empire to the emergence ...

‘We are a trading community, a commercial people. Murder is doubtless a very shocking offence, nevertheless as what is done is not to be undone, let us make our money out of it.’ PunchMurder in the 19th century was rare. But murder as sensation and entertainment became ubiquitous – transformed into novels, into broadsides and ballads, into theatre and melodrama and opera – even into puppet shows and performing dog-acts.In this meticulously researched and compelling book, Judith Flanders – author of ‘The Victorian House’ – retells the gruesome stories of many different types of murder – both famous and obscure. From the crimes (and myths) of Sweeney Todd and Jack the Ripper, to the tragedies of the murdered Marr family in London’s East End, Burke and Hare and their bodysnatching business in Edinburgh, and Greenacre who transported his dismembered fiancée around town by omnibus.With an irresistible cast of swindlers, forgers, and poisoners, the mad, the bad and the dangerous to know, ‘The Invention of Murder’ is both a gripping tale of crime and punishment, and history at its most readable.
